In 1988, a research project with the title: The Development of Diversity and Provincialism of Paleozoic Ammonoid Faunas was started at the University of Tübingen (Germany). The German Science Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) had to be convinced that a powerful database was one of the prerequisites for such a research program. It was finally accepted that finding out the requirements of paleontological databases for research on systematics and evolution was pioneering work.
